Fairy tales are spiritual and mental food for children, they generate emotions, stimulate their minds, challenge their intellect, stimulate their imagination, the creation of positive performances and generally contribute to their development. One can hardly imagine childhood without fairy tales.
"Fairytale Without Limits" is the first electronic library of fairy tales, which is aimed at children of preschool and first school age with visual impairments.
It consists of 20 audio/visualized fairy tales, 19 of which are from Kaleidoscope Publications and one from Aparsis Publications . The fairy tales are told by authors, actors, volunteers of Diavazo for Others and Amymonis .
The visualization was done under the instructions of the Amimoni Early Intervention program, so that each fairy tale has a different level of visual adaptation, to be understood by children with a corresponding level of vision.

The coefficients
The fairy tales are read with love by authors, actors, volunteers of Read for Others and Amimoni , while the visualization of the illustration material was done with the guidance - and the long experience in education of visually impaired children - of the Early Intervention Program of Amimoni .
This collaboration resulted in the fairy tales being "readable" by children with limited vision (creation of a suitable background, image contrast, simplification of drawings, etc.).
The rights for the first 10 books of our electronic library were kindly granted by Kaleidoscope publications , which with their sensitivity and active interest were a valuable partner throughout the creation of the library.
